The city and Surrounding
Country 10 be Resurveyed.
WASHINGTON. April 2l.-Upon the
recommendation Of the Surveyor Of
New Mexico, Commissioner Sparks, of
the General Land Office, has ordered
that the tract known as the Las Vegas
Grant, in New Mexico be surveyed.
The Surveyor General, in the report
upon which the order of resurvey was
made, says; "The present survey en-
braces nearly half million acres of
land, and is mauifestly indefensible.
The paper show grant for agricultural
purposes. and numerous specified allot-
ments of land, amounting to perhaps
20, 900 acres, particular areas of which
cover several tracts, can only be de-
termined by survey; that the re.
mainder Of the land included in the
boundaries specified was evidently in.
tended for pasturage, and the grant pro.
yides that these lands and their waters
shall be free to all; that it was the Gus
tom of the Mexican Government to
grant free pasture land to the extent Of
nearly half million acres. 1t is
claimed that for these and other reasons
the land should be resurveyed, and
patent issued for tho land actually
granted for agricultural purposes"
thus settling the vexed question of title
and restoring to the public and to actual
settlement large body of land. Las
Vegas, one of the most important towns
of the Territory of New Mexico, is
located on this tract.

Mes:rs. Justice Bateman and Co., wool
commission merchants of Philadelphia,
in a letter to the Commission, express
the hope that section will not be
suspended, as regards transcontinental
lines. The protests against the long and
short haul, they say, come from parties
who have heretofora enjoyed the great.
est benefits from the cut.rates, and who
have had an unfair advantage. "For
instance" they continue, '1ast year the
merchants Of San Francisco had rate
of fifty Gems FER 100 pounds on wool,
while dealers and growers located sew
eral hundred miles further east had to
ray $500 to s. SO per 100 pounds, il
their wool was shipped direct to the
East" There is wool, they say, now in
Philadelphia, grown in Montana, which
the railroads forced to be sent thence
via San Francisco, making haul of 4OOO
miles, while if shipped direct it would
have travelled but 1000 miles. The OBJ
ject of the Discrimination was to give
San Francisco merchants an opportunity
to exact toll before 1t reached it's natura

Must Swing.

The indications seem 10 be that the
Chicago Anarchists must swing. Every
effort has been made by their allies and
their apologi-ts to persuade Governor Og-
le-by to exercise his executive cleInency
but the probabilities are that the Governor
will refrain from any such action and per-
nit the law To take its course. At first the
appeals to the Governor were nearly all in
behalf of the condemned men but later on
when the fear began TO gain ground that
these appeals might prevail, protests
against any Communication Of the sentence
began to come in from all parts Of the
country, completely flooding the executive
chamber. One Of the strongest of these
was that sent by the Methodist ministers
Of Cleveland praying for the Governor
not to interfere in the matter. Never was
a man placed in more trying position than
Governor Oglesby, and the country will
watch with profound interest to see what
his course OF action shall be.

Protection In the South.
Boston Advertiser.

Hon. John W. Mason Of West Virginia
shows the weight which is thrown upon
the Senate by the old South very clearly
Many of our people, he says, still vote the
democratic ticket on account of war
prejudices but let it once be understood
that the protective policy of the country
is seriously jeopardized, and We shall
carry the State by $4,000 majority. They
now look to the republican senate to pro
tect their interests while they indulge in
sentiment and prejudice. This is the
truth, and it is time to stop the idle talk
about the maintenance of northern illiber-
alism. The North simply asks that the
rights Of citizens guaranteed by the con
stitution shall be preserved. And for this
just demand outspoken Northern republic
cans are stoned by the men who have al
ready forgotten the lessons of the war.
